• The Chan Chan Archaeological Zone, Peru: the main threat – high rate of destruction due to lack of conservation and maintenance.
• Cultural landscape and archeological sites of the Bamiyan Valley, Afghanistan: the monument suffered great losses in 2001 when the Taliban deliberately destroyed two giant Buddha statues.
• Timbuktu, Mali: the main threat is the war in Mali, occupation and deliberate destruction of heritage sites by armed groups.
• Sumatra Rainforest, Indonesia: Major Threat – poaching, illegal logging and planned infrastructure development in the area.
• Islands and protected areas of the Gulf of California, Mexico: the main threat – illegal and unsustainable fishing practices that have endangered marine life.
• Everglades National Park, Florida: storms, pollution, invasive species, and urban development are major threats.
• Selous Game Reserve, Tanzania : The main threat is illegal poaching, which has a devastating effect on the wildlife population of the park. Additional hazards come from nearby uranium mines, logging, and a planned dam.
